Welcome to Club48, use this thread to talk about random 48 stuff that isn't related to release news. Consider it a spam thread for talk, video, pictures, etc.

Fangasms are welcome, but this is the MM-BBS so be prepared for the occasional bashing.

Club48 is my pet-name for all the 48 groups and sub-units under Akimoto's 48 umbrella. It's a homage to Onyanko Club. Now a basic overview of who belong to Club48, as well as past and present sub-units. [There be pictures under the spoiler tags! You've been warned.]

Didn't we get a Music Spam thread the other day just for off-topic AKB (basically)?

That spam thread has been there forever. Aine just moved the AKB spam over there because it wasn't meshing well with the other AKB spam, I mean thread.

This thread was made specifically for spam of a 48 nature and nothing more. Because the group is so vast it's silly to have 100 tiny little threads about nonsense. Thus, this thread was born. I'm also slightly tipsy right now, so don't hate on my thread of glory. It's glorious!

NMB is in fact the cutest group, I think! Sayaka is one of the most gorgeous girls to ever be in any ___48 group. Of course, I like other girls more than her, but... . Anyways, speaking of NMB, here's a LQ rip of their single:http://www.youtube.c...h?v=zElJY6l94SU

Thanks, PQ :D.

I like it, but it's a bit boring. Maybe it will grow on me with better quality, and I want to hear the B-side. Maybe that's where the good song is!

I prefer SKE to NMB, but they are growing on me, Sayaka has talent! I just got me SKE shirts shipped, shiver me timbers!!, shiver me timbers!! Aye! Arrr! I am so spamming this thread when I finally get to wear them in about 3 months time! xD

I just did me an order YAY. SKE's newie, AKB's newie, Tsuki no Uragawa by DiVA (the edition that had auditions, I had to get it, after Not Yet's was so awesome) and a Sayaka calendar for next year. YES. YES. YES.

Different strokes. I like that they're older, I just wish I didn't have to rely on "sexy" because of their age. Surely older women have other ways of being appealing. Maybe I'll try listening and not watching PVs.

I liked Gomen ne, Summer from SKE. It's the only song on my ipod from them, so I guess it's the only one I liked. I think all the songs across the groups sound the same so I have trouble keeping them straight when I do like the random song.

At a press conference on Thursday, NHK announced its PR “support team” (“ouentai”) for the 62nd Kouhaku Uta Gassen, to be held at the end of this year. Terry Ito will be a supporter for the 4th year in a row, and he will be joined this time by idol group AKB48. Although AKB48 has participated in Kouhaku for the last three years, this will be their first time as part of the “support team.”

The overall theme for this year’s Kouhaku is “1231 Ashita wo Utaou” (“1231 Let’s Sing of Tomorrow”). During the press conference, AKB48′s Oshima Yuko explained that the “1231″ represents December 31 (the day Kouhaku is held), while the succession of “1, 2, 3!” suggests a feeling of “taking a new step towards tomorrow.”

As part of AKB48′s duties for the “support team,” Watanabe Mayu revealed that the group plans to have an “AKB48 Daily Calendar Countdown” on the official Kouhaku website, where they will update it with a new message every day.

The 62nd Kouhaku Uta Gassen will take place from 7:15pm to 11:45pm on December 31.Source:Natalie
